The Challenge

From the beginning, this idea has evolved differently than any other idea before.  This came to me unexpectedly and with a force that made it stand out and beg for life.  I was called to this project actually in 2005 one morning where I was gifted a poem that I wrote originally titled "A Walk With The Adversary."  This poem has transformed into the making of a short film now named “Ensnare: The Client”.  I believe in building dreams and making them come true.  For me, this has become so unbearably loud, that it is screaming for its creation, henceforth, why we are here today with this campaign.  To help you understand the depth and direction we are going, the following is shared:

A Brief Synopsis ~ A prestigious yet self-righteous "Snare" (demonic spirit), Royce, is tirelessly striving to make his way up the hierarchy to "Legion".  On his last client, Christian, a young energetic newlywed, Royce does everything he can to seduce him into ungodly temptation. Refusing to be sent to mental damnation, Royce must prove his worth to the Headmaster Lucifer or have another "Snare" take over his client,while Royce is cast into Outer Darkness.

 

Ensare: The Client

 

My name is J.Lyle and I am an actor, writer, artist, teacher, and a never ending learner with a dream to build.  I have been challenged to bring to fruition this project not only because this came from my soul, but because this is a stretch in a new direction and a new time and a new feeling.  I am fortunate enough to have an incredible company on board, Birds Eye Productions (http://birdsiproductions.com/ ), led by Josh Lambeth, who is known for their Aerial Photography and Videography.  They have previously produced some outstanding products/video creations and their video showcase is outstanding (http://vimeo.com/user11415560/videos).  They will be involved with every aspect of this production from the planning and filming to the editing.  They are a cornerstone of strength for this project.  My team, Birds Eye Productions, Chronic Behavior (Executive Producer/Marketing/Business Administration - Eva Louis) and I believe so much in this project that we just had to share this with you so you can support this as well and feel the life of this short film develop with us.

Executive Producer  Production Company

If your love for film is as great as ours then you will truly understand this plea.  Your journey with us will be a memorable one.  Along the way, we know that this will be an experience which will be reflective of the journey when one is working on a breakthrough and the forces of nature may be against them. To overcome these obstacles and the treacherous terrain we will travel to create, the Indiegogo campaign will enable us to cover some of the necessary expenses related to the creation of this short film. 

On the Journey ~ What will it take?

First off, we want to obviously thank you for wanting to learn more and continue down the page.

The Ensnare Production Team is targeting to cover expenses for our actors, crew, production (pre thru post), editing, equipment, venues/locations, special effects, post production, marketing/promotion and other support. We believe in supporting the film community by compensating where possible and paying for services to ensure we contribute to the economic lifecycle in whatever way we can.  We have no expectation of having others work for free as we are primarily interested in making sure everyone involved receives a return on their investment and time.  We have estimated it will take approximately $13K to cover our base expenses and whatever we will obtain over that will be invested to ensure a quality product is created and delivered.

Expenses

Following completion of the short film, we will move to develop exposure through the film festival circuit where possible as well as distribution.  With our blood, sweat, and tears we realize that what we are doing is a sacrifice for the love of a dream and we hope you can sacrifice with us as we put our energy and effort and you join us with your energy and contribution, we can make dreams come true.  So join us why don’t you?  You won’t regret this.

What You’ll Get For Your Contribution (The Perks)

Now for the awesome part, the perks!!!  To join our film family, we truly need to obtain your support, not only in spirit, but financially.  As stated above, we have expenses in order to deliver this awesome creation.  So you know how much we want you involved and to understand the level of depths we want to take you in our film, we have coined the Contribution Perks to match many of the “Hollow States” of darkness as this is a major concept in the film – (defn. All demonic spirits reside in a place referred to as “Hollow States”). 

The Perks range from Ensnare’s deepest gratitude to an Executive Producer Credit on the film. Take a look at all of the great perks on the right hand side and join us for this ride into the darkness.

Perks

The Impact

As part of this awesome project, we are doing several things to make a difference. 

  • First we are working to make this film in Arizona. 
  • Secondly, we will be contributing to the economy as we will be providing compensation for services for as much of the project as possible based on the amount of money raised.  If we are not able to compensate, we will not proceed forth with the project at this time or until we can raise more funds. 
  • Third, we will be engaging and in partnership with an educational institution locally to provide internships for up and coming filmmakers in the community that need to obtain credit for their educational degrees. 
  • Fourth, we will be working to create another quality short film for entertainment purposes. 
  • In addition, we will be working on representing business and team collaboration on a project that will help others gain experience, expand their portfolios, and be able to claim credit for an awesome project. 

I can’t think of a better way to spend time or money, working in a passion area and making a difference for others.
